A couple weeks ago, I ordered my ACC 80-20 loop carpet repalcement through Wilcox. Not only was the price (Forum discount) better than anywhere else, not only were Tommy and Norm (customer service) extraordinarily helpful, but they managed to get it to me in 3 days so I could work on it over the holiday weekend. Fantastic people, fantastic company. I can't say enough good things about them.

The carpet, despite a couple ACC horror stories, was pretty darn good, too. Though the passenger side needed significant trimming, everything else went in smooth and flat. I was especially impressed with the fit of the driver's side. Overall, just a great experience. Thanks, Wilcox.

Hey 1$t vette,
Good luck with your install. Couple quick notes: Like the posts on carpet install suggest, be sure to mark all the holes you'll cover (seats, belts, etc) as you go, use your adhesive and trim with the carpet in place as much as possible, small sections at a time, and biggest help was using a soldering iron to produce clean holes... Worked like a charm. And take your time, especially when trimming.

No problem on pics... I'm planning a moster post tomorrow... When I get my camera back (long story), the only thing left really is the passenger seat, and a little tightening, loosening of storage compartment doors to perfect my alignment, and putting a monster amp/speaker box in the back (I'll be "modifying" that box next winter to provide a little more room). I'm planning before plus process plus after shots and a few "oh crap, I wish I'da knowns" to help anybody do what I did.

There's a ton of those type posts on here that are incredibly helpful. These guys are the best. Good luck with yours.
